This is a preparation for when reviewdb is gone and changes are fully initialised from notedb. Then we will instantiate the Change object only in ChangeNotes#onLoad, and no longer in ChangeNotes.Factory#create. This is because the Change can only be instantiated after parsing the notes branch. The problem is that lots of callers access the Change object by ChangeNotes#getChange() before invoking ChangeNotes#load() in which case the change would not be available yet. Instead of adapting all callers to invoke ChangeNotes#load() before asking for the change, make sure that the change notes are always loaded on creation. Change notes are still not loaded eagerly when they are created from an indexed change. This is because we don't want to access notedb during a query (similar to how we don't want to access the database during a query).

Gerrit Code Review
Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.
Objective
Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.
Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.
